L$500 Reward

FOR MISSING CAT

War veteran cat - Magdelene ; Nebraska's most beloved pet has gone missing and was last seen chasing a rat towards the direction of the Headquarters.

For fear that the old dear may have been cat-napped, the very teary eyed cat-owner is appealing to other islanders for help in finding her pet.

"Magdelene is priceless to me and so I am very happy to offer this reward. She may only respond if you stroke her gently or call her maggi."

If you have news, please get in touch with Nebraska herself.

This is a treasure hunt with 9 cats that have been hidden in various sites through Tempelhof and The HQ. The cats will give a hint and instructions to find the other cats as well as a small prize if you treat them right (A clue on how to do that is provided in the article) The grand prize of L$500 as a reward will be given to the very first person who has managed to find all 9 cats around the island.

Das (nord)deutsche Wort des Monats

The (North) German word of the month :

Wippstert

(Wiggle-butt)

stert means rump

and Wipp- (verb: wippen) means to bob

Have you ever seen the way

The tender leaves all tremble

In the gentlest of breezes

And then gather, intensify that windy gesture

Until finally the tree itself bows down?

Listen closely:

And you'll hear her moan and whimper,

Feel her ecstasy,

As she bends and comes alive,

Her strength challenged, tested,

Springing back at last for more.

- Sir Turner

The ecstacy of trees
